At this time I am really glad that I survived because my life was really bad at that time, but now I am a wife, a mother, and I have a career. God has given me everything that I have always wanted. It has been a hard struggle sometimes, but God always helps me through all of my troubles. I sent this message out because I know that there is somebody that feels the same way I felt when I was ready to take my life. I know somebody is thinking “Nobody loves me,” or “Why am I even alive? The world would be better off without me.” Even if it is true that none of your family or peers care about you there is one that gave up his life because he loved you so much and that is Jesus. I challenge you to bring your complaints to the lord and see how he would respond. I know that he will show you the same love he has shown me. Now I am saying, ”thank you lord for this life you gave me” and I am saying it with joy in my heart.

We are going through a tough time with our house sale. Our baby is due in 2 months time and we been trying to sell this 1 bedroom house for a year now and nothing happened so far. There was 4 houses around our place with the same infrastructure, almost same price and all the three got sold except ours. They all moved to new big houses now. As parents to be, we also dreamt of so many things that we could do for our baby when he/she arrives, but we couldn’t even get a room sorted for our baby. We don’t have much space in this house and therefore, we couldn’t buy cots, basket, buggy, etc for the baby. Many of my friends who is also due around same time as our baby get their room painted, bought things for the baby and all set for baby’s coming and we unfortunate parents couldn’t do anything for our lovely dear baby. We been praying so hard and whenever each house nearby gets sold, we hope in Christ that He would do amazing things for us too! Now its last minute, but still we believe in Christ that nothing is impossible for HIM and He is never too late.
Please remember us in your prayers.

When I was diagnosed with Breast cancer a few years back, I reacted like most who receive a cancer diagnose; first thing came to mind was a “death sentence”. However, I found out later that it was truly “an awakening”. I began questioning God, why would you do this to me? What had I done in life so bad to have this placed upon me? But instead of bemoaning my fate, I decided to look for the positive side of it. There has to be a reason for it all.

I also realized that I was about to face a new beginning, new hope, do and see more with a whole new prospective on life. When I think of the “gift of life” that was given to me, I know that I will develop and gain strength from all my experiences. After going through all that I did during my breast cancer period, I was left with a few complications I now have to live with; one being daily pain. For a while, I wasn’t happy with the way I looked around my breast area, nor the pain I had to endure each day, but I decided to snap out of it. Even after being diagnosed with another cancer (colon) a few years later. Which totally took me by surprise. But even with the pain I had to endure through each diagnose, and all the struggles I’ve dealt with all my life, I still feel truly blessed. I think about the individuals that are no longer among us. I also realized that there will always be someone worse off than I am. I reminded myself, that I “still have my life”, so who am I to complain.

One day during one of my surgeries, I experienced something of a miracle, as if I went to the other side, so I felt the compulsion to write it down. I turn that experience into a poem and I called it “Peace”. Writing had become therapy for me. I took that poem, along with many others I had composed during my breast cancer period and placed them into book form. I was blessed enough to have that book published, called “True Simple Poems of Life, Faith and Survival”. I later had another inspirational children’s book published, with a third one on the way. I’m hoping that anyone who has the opportunity to read my first book of poems, get out of them, what I placed in all of them. My poems are from the heart, as real as any could ever be. With the words and phrases of each poem of statement, I wish to make a positive impact on someone who’s ill or otherwise, where they could develop the strength to embrace life in a whole new way. I never anticipated becoming a writer, I just became one. I truly believe when you survive a horrific tragedy or a horrible disease as cancer, it’s for a reason, “you have a purpose” and I want to live to find find out exactly what that is for me.

That’s what I’m all about now, inspiration. I would have never become a writer, producing inspirational poems and stories, if I had not gone through all that I did. I’m a true example that you can survive cancer not once, but twice, providing you catch it in time, have faith and allow that faith to direct your path.

MY JOURNEY OF FAITH
I was born in a Christian family. I grew up knowing that God is the solution to all our problems. But when I became an adult I started questioning the power of God.
It all started when I realized that everything I touched turned to ashes. Nothing worked for me. I even thought that I was cursed since everyone around me was excelling but me. I also thought that it was a punishment for my shortcomings.
So I asked God in my prayers: “Why is my life so empty? Have I not done all that you requested from me? Why is this happening to me? Then God started speaking to me through various scriptures.
I came across so many scriptures from the Bible, but the following ones were more like a handwritten letter from Jesus.
“Go and make disciples of all nations” Matthew 28: 19.
“Do not worry” (about anything) Matthew 6:25-26. “Pick up the cross and follow me” Matthew 10:37-39.
“My yoke is easy and my burden is light” Mathew 11:29-30.
This combination of scriptures made me realize that I was still way too far from God. I thought that God owed me a reward somehow, for being such a good Christian. Little did I know that God wanted me to realize that it takes genuine faith and absolute trust in action to please him!
I eventually came to understand that I was just another Christian who expected blessings without ever getting to the point of trusting God all heartily. Therefore I had to take a leap of faith in order to prove my trust to God.
It takes great strength and great courage to trust God. In other words; cowardice is not a quality of a true Christian. Because Revelation 21:8 considers a coward to be as bad as a murderer; but Joshua 1:9 says: ”Be strong and courageous for the lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Whenever God gives an assignment to a person, he knows that the person to whom He gives that assignment is more than able to do it; that’s why Jeremiah 1:5 says: “Before you were born I knew you.” Basically God wanted to show me that something had to be done with all the information I had acquired in my Christian life, since it wasn’t meant to simply be stored up. (James 1:22).
Therefore through the next scripture, God tested my faith in Him.Genesis 12:1which says: ”Go from your country, your kindred, and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.”
These words bordered me for such a long time (months). I really struggled to come to term with these words.
I mean; God is actually asking me to step out of my comfort zone. To leave everything behind and go to a place which I might not know anything about!!! What a challenge?
Is it even possible to trust God when He sounds so irrational? Or is it’s possible to trust God in this new day and age the way Abraham did?
After thinking long and hard I finally decided to take the risk and trust God, because James 2:20-23 says: ”faith without action is useless.”
I was also encouraged by a story I read of a father who once took his child who was just a toddler, put him on top of table, and asked him to jump into his arms. The boy jumped into his father’s arms because he trusted him and had faith in him, which resulted in a good catch.
I decided to do the same, because all I wanted was to put a smile on God’s face, because I believed that I had saddened him for such a long time with my shortcomings. Trusting Him with my life appeared to be the best way to make God smile again. Deep down I wanted to test God as well.
This was one of the most challenging things I’ve ever had to do tough. Firstly I did not know much about the country I was convinced to go to. Secondly I did not have any money for accommodation and food. I had just enough money for transport.
Therefore I left my family, my work as well as my church for the 42 Hours bus drive to the destination that God gave me.
I arrived there on a Friday night around 9:00 PM. Since I had no money at all, I was forced to spend the night in the bus station. That was the first time I ever slept outside. The night was very cold, but it wasn’t as cold as the ground on which I laid my body. I had no blanket and nothing to cover myself with in that winter cold. I remember staring at the roof for a long time, whenever I was awakened by the cold. I looked around and wondered what had just happened to me.
The next day, which was a Saturday; I woke up early and ready to face my challenges. I started by going to a church nearby to ask for help. Unfortunately I was turned down and I was told to go look for help elsewhere. With a sad face I took my luggage and left the church premises very disappointed. I went to look for help elsewhere as told. I walked up and down all day long on an empty stomach and a dry throat without getting any help at all.
I was completely stranded and I felt so lonely, so lost and so stupid at the same time. Then I began to wonder why I trusted God in the first place.
Then again the word of God strengthened me until the next day, which was a Sunday.
Very early that day I went to another church and asked for help after telling them about my ordeal. This time I was finally helped.
The struggle did not end there. I still didn’t know how I was ever going back to my family; since the people who helped me were poor and could not afford to pay for my return home. For this reason I had to find another way to get some cash. I started by selling some of my valuable properties, such as my cell phone etc…
After a while God made me realized that money wasn’t what I needed- period (Mt.6:24).
I was getting more and more confused by this all thing, and the situation was gradually getting difficult and complicated, to the point that people from the church stopped believing my story. They thought that I was just an impostor who needed a place to stay. They actually confronted me a number of times, threatening to kick me out of the house as well. But a whisper of God’s word kept me going.
The tension was so high that even the people who still had faith in me ended up telling me to quit trusting God, and call my family for help; but I couldn’t tell them that I had made up my mind about trusting God all heartily and there was no turning back. (Luke 9:62).
Unfortunately my attitude did not change the situation at all; in fact it made it worse.
I was still so frustrated that I wished to take my life on so many occasions.
It appeared to be the only way out of that mess.
I remember one day crossing one of the busiest roads in the city while an evil voice in my mind told me to stop right in the middle of that road, and let the cars run over me in order to put an end to my nightmare. But God walked me out of that road by whispering words of hope in my mind.
God kept me positive minded, and strengthened me with the following verses.Proverbs 3:5, which says: “Trust in the lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.”Jeremiah 29:11, which says: “For I know the plans I have for you declare the lord, plans for your welfare and not for calamity to give you a hope and a future.”Isaiah 55:9, which says: “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Hebrews 13:5, which says: “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you.”
I had found these verses altogether in a book called Daily in Christ which I read daily. These words kept me strong and positive until one day the pastor’s wife who was so unstable financially and had five kids to take care of, decided to use all of her savings to pay for my return home.
I was so amazed by her gesture and yet I felt so bad for putting her and her family in that kind of a dilemma.
I knew that my family could have helped me if only I had told them about my situation. but telling them would have been the failure of my mission, because I chose to trust God alone. I guess the pastor’s wife was doing the same when she decided to help me.
But, since, God is the creator of the heavens and the earth, the master of everything.
He performed a miracle I will never ever forget.
I went to town the very same day that the pastor’s wife decided to help. Something from within made me go back to that very bus station where I had spent 2 cold nights. Once there, I suddenly and miraculously looked across the road and saw my mom and sister. They were looking for me, because they did not know who I was staying with and why it took so long for me to return. But they did not know the purpose of my journey.
The lord took my shame and my pain away in a matter of seconds, after suffering mentally, emotionally and spiritually for two long months. I took my mom and sister to church the same week i meet them. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The church packed with people who came to see the miracle that God performed in my life including the bishop of the church whom I never met before then.
Everybody in the church couldn’t believe their eyes.
And I remember a brother came to me after the service and said: “you serve a living God.”
That’s why I keep saying that I have seen God with my own two eyes, because he made a way where there seen to be no way. And he had been a true provider to me. Therefore I am more than convinced that my God is a living God and he reigns from heaven above with wisdom and power.
I’m really glad that I took this leap of faith; because through this journey I came to realize that trusting God is the most stupid thing one could do as a human being, but it’s the wisest thing that one could do as a spiritual being.
As a human being Abraham would have been considered to be so stupid for trying to sacrifice his only son; no wonder he didn’t tell his wife or anybody else about it. But as a spiritual being God considered him to be so wise to the point of calling him his friend (James 2:23).
Trusting God will never be easy, but it will always be worth it. Beside; without faith it’s impossible to please God.” (Hebrews 11:6).

Hi Freddy, May God continue blessing you for sharing your lovely story with many people including me. I know that your testimony will touch my son’s heart when he reads it. My son who is actually in jail right now gave his life to the Lord a while ago, but he continued living the life of this world, doing things that were not right in God’s eyes. I truly believe that this trial that my son is going thru right now is God’s doing simply because He has plans with him. God has been wonderful to my son because He has protected and watched over him all the time. Now my son realized how stupid he has been as a human being (like you said) and he wants God to change his life around. I trust in my Lord that when my son comes back home, he will be completely transformed spiritually. My husband and I serve the Lord and pray every day for this miracle. I thank you so much for this testimony because I know it will help my son realize that God will help him thru this journey. God bless you son, you are a valuable instrument in God’s hands, do not stop working for the Lord. Amen

I was a Jehovah’s Witness for 8 years. My mother wanted to appease her father- so she joined it. She backed off from it for a while. I was very young when she used to go the meetings and sometimes took me to the meetings to my grandfather. In 1994, my paternal aunt took my sisters and I to a catholic church in West Seattle to spend time with an old lady name Maria who was a sister in the church. We were almost baptized when my mom appeared in Washington out of the blue to take us back to American Samoa. She saw her mother in a dream telling her that my sister whose younger than I was being abused.

Upon my return to American Samoa, I remember one night walking up to my mom to talk about Christmas and Jesus Christ, when she retaliated in the most bitterest way. She told me that Christmas isn’t real that Jesus didn’t die on the cross. She unfolded Jehovah Witness beliefs and doctrines that night and as a fourth grader, I was stunned. I wanted to please God and I wanted to know the truth and fight for it no matter what. My mom took us to her dad’s place where we would attend the church. It was that moment that I knew something wasn’t right. I felt a different kind of peace. A creepy one- as if someone was watching me from a far and I felt like there was a deep emptiness that was within me. I was never baptized but I knew at a young age that Jesus Christ was real and He was a faithful savior. (child like faith). I remember my mind being dulled for some reason. Maybe because I truly did believe the teachings of the cult Jehovah Witness. I remember, feeling things in the dark but never really acknowledging it because I was told by my aunt that “there aren’t any monsters”. I felt sick to the pit of my stomach all the time. I got deeper into the studies of Jehovah’s Witness. I asked for the books that were on the side to assist with my studies. Again, that creepy silence not a healthy peace would come over me and scare me. Flash forward!!! 2003, I graduated from Rainier Beach. My mom was born again in 2000. She became a prayer warrior- and prayed fervently for me because I was a devout Jehovah’s Witness. I learned at that time that the Jehovah Witness forbids Jesus Christ’ equality with the Father. And declared the Holy Spirit an active force. After my graduation, I moved to my cousins house. She was a born again believer- We argued and argued about doctrines and she lovingly corrected me. I read Francine River’s book “An echo in the darkness” and finished all three books. I remember while reading those books, I wanted to experience Jesus Christ in my heart. I signed up for baptism. Missed the week I was supposed to get baptized. Then I remember praying and asking God specifically to bring a friend to talk to me while waiting to get baptized. He brought a sweet young lady older than me to talk to me. I remember walking into the water, and I accepted Jesus Christ! A young mexican girl was with me when we walked to the bathroom to change. We were both crying. I felt so much LOVE in my heart. I cried and cried. The peace that I received from it was real and trustworthy- didn’t scare me. I watched the passion of the christ after and wept my eyes and my heart out. I cried and cried. There were spiritual battles still. This time, I knew Jesus was powerful. Because when ever I felt like something was choking me in my sleep and scaring me and I tried to break free by repetitiously repeating “Jehovah” in my mind- nothing happened. When I accepted Jesus Christ- and as soon as I got attacked in my sleep- I remember uttering Jesus name and what ever it was vanished immediately. The power of His name. Times when I would get attacked in my sleep, I would feel my tongue and mouth being covered as if something was preventing it from moving- in my mind I would say JESUS and then it would vanish. I realized that the Jehovah Witness is a cult and a LIE because of my personal encounter with Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior and my encounter with the Holy Spirit. The doctrine didn’t dissolve from me instantaneously. It took me being led by the Spirit of God to be where I am at today and realizing and belieiving that the Jehovah Witness is a legalistic hogwash deceptive belief. I realized the power within God’s word to declare it and speak it and to claim your healing and your deliverance and your good future and hope in Jesus Christ!!! I didn’t want to wait anymore to see how the outcome was going to be. I began declaring Gods faithfulness and the darkness and dark cloud over me no longer came over me unless I felt it and prayed against it and walked away from what I was committing that permitted the dark cloud. I no longer want to be deceived anymore. At a young age, as a fourth grader, I wanted to stand for the truth and fight for it. I truly believed in my heart that it was the truth- the Jehovah’s Witnesses.. But now, that I am bought by the blood and sanctified and made whole in Jesus Christ, I realize, this is the truth that I had in my heart when I was in Tennessee. God intervenes all the time and there is a time and a season for everything. He planned my life and the set the dates in order of events that would happen. I am grateful!!! to no longer be a part of an organization that despised the deity of Christ and separate His equality from our Father. The Holy Spirit is not an active force. He is a person. He is part of the Trinity. I love the Trinity and I love that I am free and am able to tell all about it!!!

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. You may recall I joined this Christian Faith Site sometime last year 2012, which I posted some articles in my blog (SAMUEL IDOKO ABAH). Since then, I was busy in other activities which did not allow me to visit the site often. This long time visit to the site made me to forget my username as well as my password to the site. Could you please check through your data base and feed me back with my username and password to enable me resume visitation to this site? Thank you remain blessed in the Lord.

My testamony is on cd if anyone would like to hear it… It is very dear and may be an encouragement to you that the Lord can transform a life that has been controled by fear and bondages… That Little by little He causes you to overcome in Him and in His strength as you learn the daily exchange of bringing your life, your ashes to Him so He can give you beauty… Spending time with Him and crying out to Him, brings the exchange of strength and He sets us free from the power of sin and self will in our lives to more and more freedom in Christ… In this process He enlarges your heart for others and causes His will to come forth in you… The bringing of our life to Jesus and the Father in prayer, makes the oppertunity possible for the life of exchange… our life, our adamic man given to him in the daily grind, so that in the exchange we have His life grafted more and more into our inner man and Christ is formed in us… I die daily, never the less I live… Yet not I, But Christ in me xoxoxo… A transformed life. It is also very sweet indeed as you walk with Jesus in this process He makes manifest to you, His kingdom and how it operates, how the kingdom of darkness moves backwards and His kingdom comes forth as you learn to abide in Him and overcome day by day… He speaks to me many times in dreams and visions as He helps me understand Him and His word… It was about 7 years ago when my life started to turn around I’d been a Christian as long as I could remember but bound with so much fear and stronholds until I started to cry out to Jesus to set me free… My life has changed from that time until now and is a life in transformation from the power and works of Satan to life in Christ and hungering for the 100 fold… It never is out of reach, it is just in the sufficent unto the day troubles and LEARNING that Jesus made a way for us to overcome and live in Him… The daily grind has the PURPOSE to lead us to Christ.. In it we find our life in Him… And God brings forth His fruit in us that people can start to eat. Learning to live the exchanged life also brings the Lords will to be done in earth as it is in heaven… Learning to walk in faith and obeidence, my testamony may be a blessing to you or anyone hungering for more of Jesus the Father and living by the strength of His Holy Spirit… As every joint supplies… Val, VLAMB.MD…
